I don't play many songs before 1950, so I'm wondering what songs you plan to play these next two weeks for Veterans' Day gigs. WW2, Korea, Viet Nam and recent vets too.

Cass,
If you are playing for a NH take a look at all the top hits of the 1930s and 1940s. You can also google "popular WWII songs" etc... Of course you need all the service songs. What keyboard are you playing? I could send you my gig setup for Veteran's Day.

Cass, you got mail. Unzip the file and you will find styles plus the PDF leadsheets for all of them.

Enjoy,
Deane

OK, no real surprises there. I checked some top 10 lists on the internet and saw some stuff I never even knew existed...
Thanks, Deane for your email. It will be quite helpful.

I really like this song.... It says it all.... Song by Beau Davidson- Blessed.... Check it out and I think you will love it also... When I play it, I kind of make it my own by just singing and playing piano to it...hope you enjoy the song as much as I did...Ron

For the Vietnam Vets, anything by the Doors, the Stones, Sly and the Family Stone..!

Got a feeling these are probably more fondly remembered than many of the military lollipops...
